Update!
My Fimbriated Eel and my Porcupine Puffer went in today after I tested the water to find Ammonia and Nitrite dropping.
That is the last of the fish for a while. I'll post some pictures tomorrow. I also added some rock from my 55 gallon tank. I tried to scrape the overflow boxes AGAIN today and failed due to the thickness and the curved feature.... I'll have to work on it bit by bit as I get the chance and time to do it. Updates to follow!

Gotta get some pics!
Amm and NH3 - what are they down to?
And I would use a scrub brush of some sort maybe on those overflows?? The problem you're going to run into is that the scratches from the scraper or a brush will leave an area for stuff to just grow into again. I would just leave it alone... eventually it will be covered with new coralline anyway. You have any cleanup crew in there yet?

Pics are a comin'!
Amm. 0.5ppm
NH3 0.5ppm
I have tried my scrub brush and it doesn't seem to affect it. I agree, it will just end up covered again anyways.
I don't have a clean-up crew in there yet. I don't know what to put in because of my Porcupine Puffer.... any thoughts? Thanks!

eh.. well.. kinda stuck there. You could try a few snails to see if the PP puffer will get them. Mind get lucky or might just give him a snack.

Isn't NH3 ammonia? BTW, I like the tank, Nice Blue!

whoops, yeah I meant NO3 (nitrate). Like you said - NH3 = ammonia. and to complete the lesson - NO2 is nitrite

FTS

The eel was hiding under the heap of rocks on the right, so no picture of him...

Some sort of base rock. It has been passed on through two or three of my aquariums...

Last night, after I had turned out the lights, I found the eel swimming all over the tank so, of course, I grabbed the camera and took some pictures! Here are a few. Enjoy!
Everyone in their new home!

The eel is fully out!
